Chapter 635: A Story Within a Story

We were silent all the way and didn't find any opportunity.

In addition, the weather is bad and driving requires attention and concentration.

Lin Yiyi just leaned back and looked at every corner of the cab dozens of times.

She felt bored, so she stretched out her fingertips and drew symbols on the glass window, one circle, two circles, just for fun.

Thoughts drift further...

I don’t know what kind of gossip will arise if she disappears from her original world.

But anyway, no one is worried about her, so let her disappear.

Because of the missing suspect, a big mess broke out in the security station far away in Zhaojia Town.

The person was sent to the clinic for treatment but disappeared out of thin air, and because it was snowing heavily at night, there was not even a witness who could provide any clues.

Fortunately, the matter was discovered early and the security station did not have time to submit the file of this person who suddenly appeared.

The director of the security station originally wanted to arrange for his own son to come in and work there, but when something went wrong he had no choice but to give up.

Even Dr. Huang from the health center was not held accountable.

As the New Year is just around the corner, no one wants to get into trouble, so just pretend that the incident never happened.

...

When the snow stopped falling, the truck left the province.

As the sky gradually darkened, Lin Yiyi's stomach growled louder and louder.

The noodles I had in the morning have now been completely digested.

According to Zhao Sheng's scheduled time, they arrived at the small town in the neighboring province at 6 pm.

Originally, he was going to drive some night road to the county town, but considering that someone didn't have a letter of introduction, he could only choose to rest here for one night.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and Lin Yiyi followed behind wearing a loose cotton jacket. She didn't know the road anyway, so she just followed behind.

The two of them entered the state-owned restaurant one after the other.

Zhao Sheng went straight to the queue and ordered two bowls of dried vegetable and fish dumplings.

He turned around to look at her and winked at the side, "You go and take a seat, I'll be here."

Lin Yiyi had been thinking about how to start a conversation with him the whole day. Now that she heard him speak first, she smiled and nodded hurriedly.

She had just occupied a long bench and dominated a seat at the square table when Zhao Sheng, who was serving food, seemed to have run into an acquaintance.

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, why are you here?"

The speaker was a freight driver from the Ze County Supply and Marketing Cooperative. He glanced in another direction and smiled strangely, "And he brought a..."

Zhao Sheng didn't like this man very much, but he often took cigarettes and alcohol from him without receipts, so naturally they were still friends.

Afraid that he would ask questions, she was vague and said, "I think we can still give it a try based on what you said before."

"What?"

As soon as he said it, he remembered that incident again, and the questioner's expression became more meaningful.

"It's good that you figured it out. Men always have needs."

We are all on the same path, so it is inevitable that we will interact with each other. He also said, "In order to have a pleasant journey, we still have to do things beautifully."

"By the way, are you heading south again this time?"

Zhao Sheng's gaze passed him and fell to the distance. Seeing that she had chosen a location, he retracted his gaze, "Yes, it's still south."

"Then you better be careful. It's almost New Year's Day. There have been a lot of oil thieves on the two forked dirt roads before Shanghai."

"They want the goods and ask the drivers to pay, and they use all kinds of methods to set up traps and block the road."

At this point, the freight driver of the supply and marketing cooperative lowered his voice again, "Remember to take off the license plate in advance and bring some red paper to hold it down.

Put a plastic bucket of water in the trunk, don't step on the brakes, just run over it."

"It's not uncommon for a 'rat or wild cat' to die on the road."

Do you dare to call the police if you are a gas thief?

After the two finished talking, they took their bowls and went to their respective tables, being very conscious of not disturbing each other.

Lin Yiyi couldn't finish the big bowl of dumplings, so she shared them out in advance. When she picked up a dumpling and put it into her mouth, she almost hit her teeth.

I don’t know what the filling is. There are chopped fish bones in it, mixed with black vegetable roots. It tastes both rough and crispy.

She turned her head to look at the man's Adam's apple as he swallowed, and saw nothing unusual. She could only follow the local customs.

Bite through the soft dumpling skin, and then train your teeth repeatedly in the crispy mouth.

Lin Yiyi thought it was just due to the lack of materials, and it shouldn't be that the chef deliberately wanted to make some dark dish.

Zhao Sheng sat side by side with her, very close to her. Although he didn't turn his head to look at her, his peripheral vision caught all her little movements.

It was as if he had bitten something and secretly spat.

He eats one dumpling in one bite, while she takes three or four bites to eat one.

He ate slowly, swallowed slowly, blew on the soup which was not very hot, took a small sip, and didn't know if he drank it or not.

After dinner, Lin Yiyi went to the bathhouse to take a comfortable hot bath, and then went around the back and climbed through the window to enter the guesthouse just like yesterday.

If Zhao Sheng wasn't familiar with the road, it would have been difficult to find a guesthouse on the first floor with exterior windows.

While he was bending over to make the bed, Lin Yiyi started to think crookedly with her chin on her hand.

She had tried both the polite and direct approach and the coquettish approach, but neither worked.

How about not telling a sensational story this time, and then a candid confession?

Zhao Sheng made the bed, turned to look at her, and said in a calm voice, "You sleep inside."

Lin Yiyi had no right to refuse, so she could only say "oh" and obediently take off her shoes and go to bed. She curled up in the quilt and secretly took off her rolled-up cotton pants and cotton jacket.

As soon as the pillow was folded, the room became pitch black.

Turn off lights and power at a certain time.

I feel less embarrassed to say anything.

After a rustling sound, a man appeared on the bed next to me.

Lin Yiyi was afraid of being close to his naked chest, so she didn't dare to lie flat on her back and take up the width of the bed. She chose to lie on her side facing him.

She started chatting with him quietly again, "Zhao Sheng, where are you from?"

Zhao Shengqing closed his eyes, trying to guess when she would start asking questions, "Zhaojia Town, Ze County."

I haven’t heard of it. Lin Yiyi asked casually, “Are you angry with me today?”

"No." He was just annoyed, but Zhao Sheng couldn't really explain why.

"Where in the south are you delivering to?"

"Secret."

“…”

Lin Yiyi had a heart attack, and it wasn't a big secret, so she kept it a secret. "How old are you? Are you married?"

"Not married, 25."

"..." She thought he was 28 or 29, but he was only 25.

He is very mature at a young age.

Lin Yiyi complained in her heart, then asked with a smile, "You remember the route so clearly, you must have taken a lot of notes, can you show it to me?"

"Ha." Sure enough, after a few words, they started talking about the same thing again.

Zhao Sheng didn't want to beat around the bush with her anymore, and said in an annoyed tone, "I advise you not to have any crooked ideas. Many people who wanted to enjoy themselves died on the way."

"Even if they are not dead and are lucky enough to escape, none of those who are sent back will be in good health."

"..." If she didn't go, she would have no identity and no good life.

After finally escaping, there was no turning back for her.

Lin Yiyi knew that he was determined not to tell her, and she no longer had the intention to ask him questions, but she just wanted to be the bad guy for once.

I can only feel sorry for him.

After a while, she sighed again, "But if I can't find my relatives, I have nowhere to go, not even a place to eat."

"...I can't keep pestering you for free food and drinks."

"......" She also knew that she was eating and drinking for free.

Zhao Sheng frowned and asked her for a favor, "Didn't you say you wanted to repay me?"

Lin Yiyi choked for a moment, then whispered softly, "...I...I have nothing, how can I repay you?"

This guy really is repaying a favor.

But if you want to take advantage of her to repay her, you'd better give up on me as soon as possible.

Zhao Sheng sneered, "Want to cheat?"

"...No, why do you say that to me, I..." Lin Yiyi couldn't say anything nice to refute her, so she could only start sobbing with her throat pinched.

Zhao Shengxin was a hard-hearted person. Even if she cried a lot, he would turn a blind eye.

Once the idea came to her mind, she would be forced to come up with an answer herself.

If I follow him back, I'll still have to look for some damn relative.

"You said you wanted to repay me, but you couldn't give me anything. You spent my money and ate my food. So what do you think I should do?"
